    Good morning. The election campaign is likely to continue to focus on terrorism and security today, with the home secretary and shadow home secretary coming up on the Andrew Marr Show.

    Jeremy Corbyn says Tory cuts have undermined security and has pledged to recruit an extra 10,000 police and more security staff if Labour wins power.

    The Conservatives say the Labour leader's sums "don't add up" and have stressed they would "stand up" to Islamists and others who threaten British values.

  6. Goodnightpublished at 23:43 British Summer Time 27 May 2017

    We're halting our live coverage of General Election 2017 for a few hours. Saturday's campaigning was most remarkable, perhaps, for the absence of the Tories but expect them to come roaring back soon, determined to regain the wide lead they held just a few weeks ago. Labour, meanwhile, is scenting an opportunity to turn the tables. We'll be back in the morning.

  7. Corbyn incapable of handling terrorist threat, May sayspublished at 23:23 British Summer Time 27 May 2017

    Writing in The Sun, Prime Minister Theresa May launches a stinging attack on Jeremy Corbyn's competence to lead the UK in the face of the terrorist threat.

    "[A Corbyn government] would be a disaster for our country," she says.

    Quote Message

    It is clear that he is incapable of tackling the grave threats we face. Jeremy Corbyn has consistently voted against the laws which governments of all parties have passed to keep us safe. He does not think our armed police should use shoot-to-kill if an armed terrorist is on the rampage. And he opposes the action our courageous RAF fighters are taking to combat the armies of Daesh in their strongholds in Syria and Iraq. He just isn’t prepared to stand up for Britain."

    The Tories, by contrast, would set up a "powerful new Commission for Countering Extremism" with "proper legal teeth and a clear remit to identify extremism wherever it is to be found and support wider society in fighting against it".

    The new commission, Mrs May says, would take on board the "strong correlation between extremism and the poor treatment of women and girls" and "have a specific responsibility to ensure that women’s rights are upheld in all communities in Britain".

    Perhaps rattled by opinion polls suggesting a large Tory majority is no longer a done deal, Mrs May notes: "If my party loses just six seats at that general election, we would lose our majority and Britain would have a hung Parliament."

  8. 'It's not a close contest'published at 23:04 British Summer Time 27 May 2017

    Labour has recovered ground from the Tories but not enough to stand a serious chance of winning, suggests Adam Payne, Business Insider UK's politics editor.

  10. Manifesto mess forces Tory relaunch - Sunday Timespublished at 22:31 British Summer Time 27 May 2017

    The Conservatives will relaunch their election campaign this week after it was knocked off course by confusion over the party's manifesto and the Manchester bomb attack, the Sunday Times reports.

    Mrs May's chiefs of staff, Fiona Hill and Nick Timothy, have been at loggerheads over the party's "disastrous" policy on social care, the paper says.

    Now Sir Lynton Crosby, the party's chief strategist, has ordered a return to the core message that only Theresa May can be trusted to negotiate Brexit.

  18. Women surging towards Corbyn - opinion pollpublished at 21:45 British Summer Time 27 May 2017

    A poll in the Daily Telegraph suggests the Tories have a lead of just six points and that the swing is largely down to women swinging towards Jeremy Corbyn.

    "Jeremy Corbyn is closer to winning the election than at any time during the campaign thanks to a surge in support from women," the paper says, external.

    Just 31% of women planned to vote Labour in mid-May, it reports, but that figure jumped to 40% this week - just a single point behind the Tories.
